Explanation

When 'Allow access to this table via web services' is selected in Application Access settings (ServiceNow), it opens the table up for web service queries - but it does not bypass the platform's security model. The user or integration account performing the query must still have the correct roles and permissions to access that table's data. Selecting this option is a necessary but not sufficient condition for access; it enables the channel while row-level and field-level security remain enforced. Option A is incorrect because without this flag enabled, web service access is blocked regardless of permissions. Options C and D describe behaviors the setting does not actually implement.
